Margaret was affectionately called "Peg" or "Peggy" by friends and family, but to Clint she was simply "the most beautiful girl in Point Pleasant". Finding one person who compliments you, whose rough edges match your own, someone who makes you whole and complete, is largely unheard of today. Peg met Clint in 1942, writing him as he served in World War II and marrying after his return.

Daughter of David Vincent Hulse Sr. and Marietta Elizabeth Rhoades, Peg was a New Jersey girl to her core. It was no surprise that they chose to settle in Point to raise their family. Their marriage illustrated the deep bond of true love and served as an example to their family of what relationships should aspire to be. Peg remains Clint's sun and moon, the undeniable force that shaped his world. Their love was a rare, beautiful, and remarkable thing to behold. Her passing leaves him with a heavy heart and represents the final sunset on the greatest adventure of their lives.

Peg loved gardening and entertaining at her home on Bay Avenue or fishing with her husband on the Barb-Gail. A diehard Yankees fan, she never missed a game. She enjoyed trips to Atlantic City to play slots, bingo, and gin rummy, but could also be found taking road trips or vacationing with her family in Florida or the Bahamas.

Of all of her life's achievements, her greatest moments are remembered by those who called her Mom or Nanny. Caring and insightful, all problems could be solved over a cup of coffee or tea and her sound advice. Always in high spirits, Peg was lighthearted and carefree, a perpetual source of fun. She was found cracking jokes, laughing, and teasing her husband and family even in her final days.

Margaret Dunham was a truly amazing woman, wife, sister, mother, and grandmother. She invested herself in her home and family and took pride in the legacy she would leave behind. She will be sorely missed.
